    Butternut squash ravioli
    Annie L.

    Hotel restaurants can be hit or miss - this was definitely a hit! After traveling we were happy to find this in our hotel. A variety of items were on the menu and the staff were all really pleasant. We enjoyed the feta dip with crostini for an app. Entrees included a couple of pasta dishes and a salad. Everything came out pretty quickly and was tasty. It's located just off the lobby in a big open air feel.

    Great food for a hotel restaurant. I usually skip hotel restaurants. But we were staying at the Residence Inn next door and found this restaurant very convenient. Hummus plate was as good as any hummus plate in any restaurant I've ever been to. And I've ordered hummus many many times. Glazed salmon with shitake rice and broccolini was as good as any fish entre in any restaurant I've ever been to. And fairly priced, too! Cheese cake with cherry sauce was excellent, as well. Not sure why they call the sauce "tart" cherry sauce; it wasn't tart; I loved it. Ingredients tasted fresh. Service was excellent both times we visited. Wide variety of seating; booths and lounge chairs; some seats have outlets to plug in your phones. Would have visited more times had they been open in the afternoons.

    Moda is located inside the Residence Inn hotel, as you walk in to the left, and they extend for the majority of the lobby. We went for happy hour ( sun-tue, 5-7 pm) for the great prices on both drinks and appetizers. We started off with pretzel bites. They came with a type of mustard and cheese sauce. They weren't fresh, but still really good. Even though they don't have it listed, they do have a veggie patty to substitute to all the burgers if you just ask. I ordered a Moda Burger, both it and the fries it came with were delicious! After happy hour ended we ordered one more drink and I went with an holiday spritz. It was perfect! Our server was great and extremely attentive.

    The famous BARBACOA TACOS
    Peter M.

    Hit the spot!!! During my stay last year at the Residence Inn, I was on my way to the parking lot to get something from my car and discovered Moda. Its located right in the main area of the hotel so you can't miss it. I was planning on going out that night but as the night went on it started to rain then pour!! My original plan was to go downtown or hit some of the bars in the area, but I decided on plan B due to rain. Plan B was to work out, catch up on work, watch a movie and get a good nights sleep for a change, but a person has to eat...right? I headed downstairs from my suite and went to MODA. There were people scattered about the restaurant area, some eating and some drinking some doing both. I saw some of the food that the other guests were eating and their plates were devoid of food (a ​good sign). I sat at the bar with a few other travellers and met some really cool people. The bartender was a really cool gal, whose name eludes me but she was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and the local craft beers that MODA served. When it came time to order I took my bartenders advice and ordered the soup of the day, a beef stew which looked like chilli​. For the main course this evening I tried the braised beef tacos AKA BARBACOA TACOS. Much to my delight the stew was on point and matched my beer perfectly. I switched beer for the second course, the tacos which were messy, like a taco should be, the braised beef was insanely good, juicy and tender. The street corn side was a really refreshing and interesting side. Hey!! I only tried two things but both were prepared right, and both were a good take on classic foods. I would eat there again!!!

    "Flatbread pizza"  Decent but not what expected
    Brett B.

    Friendly staff and food taste good, but I don't think I would call this a flatbread pizza.... it's more like a kids pizza

    Roasted tomato soup. Slight kick and tasty.
    Lard Belly E.

    I wish I knew about this restaurant at the beginning of the trip. Wouldn't have hit up Sonic so much. I came in to a relatively lively dinner crowd and sat at a booth. Ordered the roasted tomato soup and the wild mushroom pizza. The soup was amazing. Perfect amount of spice and cheese. I also enjoyed the pizza, though I would say the balsamic drizzle was a bit too sweet. Didn't stop me from eating almost the entire thing. I really wanted a steak, and I thought for a hotel restaurant the menu was a bit limited. Had great service the entire time.

    Bread pudding
    Haley G.

    We went here for restaurant week not knowing what to expect as the restaurant is in the Marriott. Its kind of hidden so we had to ask for directions based on the door we entered in. I was pleased with my selections: the beet salad, togarashi chicken, and the bread pudding. The only downside was that the bread pudding wasn't hot and was more dense than I expected. Overall, the food was tasty. The ambiance was distracting -- I wouldn't go here for a quiet date night as there are people walking through the restaurant at all times. The service was great as well.

    Mini slider and French fries....and a lil rosè
    Candice A.

    This is such a beautiful place. The decor and the environment are amazing. Covers a nice meal or casual drinks at the fully stocked bar. The staff were very friendly. I suggest the sliders and fries it's delicious and pretty on the plate. My cousin had lobster rolls and she couldn't stop talking about them.

    Amazing food and amazing service, highly recommend the pork belly and wings!!! So yummy!!

    Doesn't respond to reservation requests through Marriott. Based on this, how can it be reliable?

The Sprouts were outstanding. Never had them prepared with blue cheese, apricots or toasted corn nuts. The Octopus and smoked sausage was also good, but I wouldn't order it again. For dinner we both wanted the chicken, which I have a rule against, so my daughter got that and I got the beef tips. The chicken was outstanding! The beef tips were good, but not great.

Braised Short Rib - 10/10. Wasn't expecting the flavor and tenderness that came with it.

Way too much but the wings were edible... and that's where edibility ends! The tofu with peanut sauce sounded good to me, but I swear they took a whole block of tofu and cooked it as one piece. The exterior was bland which meant the inner depths of said tofu was even blander. How do you make peanut sauce bland? The drinks had to be good, right? After all, they're also a distillery with their own craft whiskey. Nope... Epic Fail on the blandest old fashioned in Ohio (I'm guessing). If they're trying to showcase their whiskey... maybe they shouldn't. Just really not a fan. Other Old Fashioned fans in the dining party weren't impressed either. The margarita wasn't much better either. What about a refreshing peach dessert? I'll give you 3 guesses and they all start with B! You guessed it, so flavorless and the pound cake was dry! It was even dry if you were calling it a biscuit. If you're going to serve this, then maybe a peachy sauce to cut through the dryness. Oh, the description promises that, but it did not deliver on those bourbon macerated peaches by any means. Even Bowser would send this peach back! TLDR: Bland food, Bland drinks, Dry Bland Cake, and Bland Drinks (a no-no for a distillery themed place). So many other great restaurants in Columbus, but this is a pass from me.

The Biscuits for a Cause (2 with butter, jam and honey), Fried Pickles (chips with ranch), and Famous Fried Green Tomatoes (I don't normally like goat cheese, but these are served with stone-ground goat cheese grits) were all fabulous and I had plenty to take home after trying all.

The manager also helped out bringing food, and checking on me. I would return for another meal.
